Do you like custom gallery poses?

I love them! I use them on my sims (I don't use custom content) to show off how they really look. To me, the pre-made poses make their faces really distorted and they don't show off the time and effort I put into my creations.
Not everyone uses custom content!

I actually wish the gallery had a way to show sims like he is in that first picture! It’s a nice neutral expression and not a really distracting pose.

Which is exactly why some content creators choose to use custom poses. It doesn't add/change anything to the sim in-game, it just creates a better picture in the gallery.

A lot of poses have stuff like sims with their hands in front of their faces or the sim’s head sideways, though.

It just gives a different view of the sim. I work really hard in CAS when creating my sim. I take the time to really get into the customization.
I base most of my sims off of real people, so making the noses just right, getting the eye-shapes correct, getting their eyebrows on point, is very important to me. Having a pose that turns the sim's head to the side shows off my creation's face profile (the one I just spent an hour trying to get juuuuust right!). I like to show off my hard work! To me, there's nothing wrong with that.

I mean ones like this: https://i.imgur.com/XOD1FPF.jpg

Again, it's literally just a pose. But, I know when I use poses like this, it's because I'm basing them off of real-life models/people. In the reference photos that I use, the people happen to be laying down, turned side-ways, doing other poses, rather than just standing awkwardly.
